Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 8)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.37 feet above pool. Striper fishing is firing up with the cold weather! Deadsticking flukes and casting swimbaits are both productive techniques. Look for bigger schools of fish near river channels and deep flats, 40-55 feet of water, suspended. Bigger fish will be on structure in 8-15 feet of water, holding on humps and points near creek channels. Bass fishing is slow with the recent cold snap and falling water temps. Focus on plastics and slow-moving baits near points in 8-12 feet of water, and target sandy flats near creek mouths. Fish around stumps and brush for the best chances. Crappie fishing is tough. Look for fish holding tight to brush piles and structure in deeper water near main lake coves, or on stump flats closer to the dam. Catfishing has slowed down with the falling water temps, but bigger fish can still be targeted on flats near the rivers in 10-25 feet of water. Use cut gizzard shad or whole shad, and anchor up to increase your chances of hooking up on a trophy blue cruising along. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught under the birds in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. This bite is typically around the last hour of sunlight. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
